The next step - the world!!!
I now have a globally registered backup app, to which I have added:
global:re_register_name(backup, self()),
in the init/1 which works, and fails over etc. Fantastic.
Next I added the same to another of my apps and changed sys.config :
{distributed, [{backup, [, {, }]},
{wap, [, {, }]}]}
both apps startup fine initially but if I stop test1, only backup starts up
on the new node.
dist_ac seems to be stuck with a load of messages in its queue including
some {'EXIT' <0.97.0>, normal}s and {internal_restart_appl, wap} stuff. The
function is dist_ac:wait_dist_start/7
Restarting the main node has no effect except stuffing up dist_ac even more.
I'm not having a good day with this..
Cheers,
Sean
